C.S. Osborne No. 787A Bevel-Cut Staple Remover

C.S. Osborne 787A pointed side cutter with red handles.

When to choose it

The 787A is the bevel-cut version of Osborne’s long-pointed side cutter for staple work. Compare it when part of a fastener protrudes and you want access with a pointed cutting edge. The forged steel tool is 6½ inches overall and uses vinyl-covered handles.

If the fastener is still flat against the wood, compare a staple lifter to start the crown. For a leg you want to grip without clipping, consider the bent jaws on the Osborne 600. Choose the side cutter when the cutting profile is part of what you need.

Questions about this product

Is this the flush-cut Osborne version?

Osborne uses 787B for the flush cut. The 787A is the bevel-cut option.

What should I use if the staple crown is still flat?

Start by comparing a lifter that can reach under the crown. Reassess the exposed metal before choosing a plier or cutter.

How can I pull the leg without trying to trim it?

Compare a bent-nose staple puller with gripping jaws, such as the No. 600.
